OSHA recently launched a 3-year emphasis program that focuses on preventing workplace hazards in warehouses, distribution centers and high-risk retail establishments. This is because injury rates in these types of operations are so high.

Inspections will concentrate on hazards related to:

  • Powered industrial vehicle operation,
  • Material handling and storage,
  • Walking and working surfaces,
  • Means of egress,
  • Fire protection
  • Retail establishments with high injury rates, focusing on storage and loading areas.
  • Heat and ergonomic hazards.
